I am sure it’s a great story but recording and narrator totally inaudible, had to abandon.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2019

Fantastic even though the narrators struggle sometimes with the old translations it was totally enthralling.

Chapters missing. Totally unacceptable!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2022

Couldn't even listen to it. Might have been a good book but it's to hard to here her speak.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2020

Great story! Some of the narrators do pretty good… My advice is, Don't get discouraged with the chapters that are not so great to listen to, The overall story is worth it. I think it was chapter 14 of volume one that was almost painful to listen to.

I love this story! But I think it’s better to read it since the person who is reading it is not reading it nicely

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2023

the recording is to blurred to understand the narrator.

Profile Avatar Chad A. May 2023

The narration is horrific. The narrator skips chapters and can’t figure out which accent to imitate. If your interested in listening to a narrator that imitates four separate accents while reading one sentence, this book is four you!

No story to technical

Profile Avatar Doc S. Apr 2022

This is a masterpiece, continuously undermined and undone by droning, inarticulate narrators. If you do not know how to pronounce a word, then find out, before dictating into a microphone. Some of the narrators were quite good, but were let down by their less able compatriots. The sound quality of the first six chapters is also awful, rendering most of it completely unintelligible.

Totally inaudible on any device. The breakthrough parts I could make out before totally giving up sound like it is an amazing book. It’s the free library tho. It’s all on volunteers and no budget. It also skips chapter 2. I couldn’t get passed chapter 3. I tried on 3 different devices with all noise cut out. It’s just the recording.

Very good book - interesting!

Profile Avatar MH Feb 2022

Audio is very poor. Could not enjoy the story.

Profile Avatar Mike R. Jan 2022

The recording quality is quite poor. It might have been a better listen had the audio been clean.

Profile Avatar Lorraine Simpson Sep 2021

I would say this book would have been good, Narration in most chapters was good, but not enough for me to complete this book

Profile Avatar Killuafangirl 1. Jul 2021

The narrator is horrible

Profile Avatar Joyce Mar 2021

Worst sound I have heard on an audio book. It sounds like the reader is in a tunnel with static. I could hardly hear what she was saying. She wasn’t a very interesting reader either. The story is a good one, and I was very disappointed that I couldn’t finish listening but I had to stop at the beginning of the 2nd chapter.

Profile Avatar M B. Nov 2020

For what ever reason, on my system the sound is almost indecernable, as though the reader was muffled.

Profile Avatar Tony F. Oct 2020

Can’t even listen past the first couple of minutes the recording is terrible

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2020

The audio quality is so bad, I was unable to go past the first chapter

Profile Avatar Keitha S. Jan 2020

The sound is very muffled. Could hardly understand the narrator. Did not like.

Profile Avatar Crystal V. Aug 2019

The story is great but narrative for the second half is awful. He keeps trying to give American characters British accents. And he breaks up sentences so that they don’t make sense. Doesn’t help that he keeps burping and yawning either.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2019

Narration is horrible. No continuity with her recording.Could not finish the book.

Profile Avatar Roberta D Jul 2017

Too many missing chapters made it confusing at times

Profile Avatar Heather Lane Jul 2016

The story is great and will never change. I believe there may be a chapter or two missing. The different reading styles are a little distracting. Some are better than others, some are even amusing. What do you want? It's a free audiobook of a classic tale.
